Abstract: The excessive amount of data and information in the situation map is likely to produce a huge cognitive load that exceeds the physiological limit. This can lead to delays in the perception, judgment, and decision-making of the commander, or even failure of decision-making activities in severe cases. For this reason, situation information needs to be processed to assess and highlight situational hotspots so that cognitive overload can be tackled. Based on the aggregation factors of collaborative targets, this paper takes the effective impact possibility of situational targets and the collaboration as the indicators, derives the attention function, and designs …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Internet of Vehicles (IoV), AR, AI, and other computing-intensive, time-delay-sensitive applications are developing rapidly. However, due to the relatively insufficient computing capacity of mobile devices, such application tasks face serious latency, which seriously affects user experience and even fails to meet the needs of users. To solve this problem, by comprehensively considering delays and costs, we propose a cooperative computing offloading model based on a multi-user and multi-mobile edge computing (multi-MEC) server for base station groups. In addition, an improved fireworks algorithm based on convex optimization (CVX-FWA) is presented to solve the model and perform reasonable offloading and resource …

Abstract: The picket fence effect of fast Fourier transform (FFT) restricts the demodulation performance of the underwater acoustic(UWA) communication systemusing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). To solve this problem, we propose a demodulation algorithm based on ZoomFFT. Specifically, the received signal is processed by frequency shifting and downsampling forarefined spectrum, which improves the spectralresolution and weakens the picketfence effect.Meanwhile, the channel response is refined, and the channel equalization algorithm is constructed on the basis of the minimum mean square error (MMSE) principle to eliminate the channel influence.

Simulation And Optimization Of A New Multi-Channel Contact Center System, Junxiang Li, Lichao Li, Kun Ma
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In the actual operation of a contact center, it often encounters a large number of calls caused by an emergency. A traditional call center with a simple first-come-first-served queuing rule can hardly handle the rapid increase of calls properly. In this regard, without changing the number of seats, the call-back service channel for evacuating tasks and the special service channel for ensuring the service level are added. Considering customer abandonment, a new multi-channel queuing model for a contact center is built. This model is simulated by FlexSim software, and the results are comparatively analyzed. It is found that …

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Plug‐in electric vehicles (PEVs) have immense potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, and for smart grid applications. Although a great deal of research is focused on technological limitations that affect PEV battery performance targets, a major and arguably equal concern is the constraint imposed by the finite availability of elements or resources used in the manufacture of PEV batteries. Availability of resources, such as lithium, for batteries is critical to the future of PEVs and is, therefore, a topic that needs attention. This study addresses the issues related to lithium availability and sustainability, particularly supply …

Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering Faculty Publications
High entropy alloys (HEAs) can be manufactured in many conventional ways, but it becomes difficult of fabricating heterogeneous materials and structures. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) method generally melts pure elemental powders or prefabricated alloy powders without alloying process. In-situ alloying in SLM, which is also called Laser Additive Alloying (LAA), using pure elemental powders becomes a promising method for creating HEA with heterogeneous structures. However, the effect of the diffusion of elements in the molten pool on the formation of HEA remains unclear. In this paper, the well-discussed Cantor HEA was studied in an in-situ alloying situation, where pure elemental …

Strengthening A Linear Reformulation Of The 0-1 Cubic Knapsack Problem Via Variable Reordering, Richard Forrester, Lucas Waddell
Strengthening A Linear Reformulation Of The 0-1 Cubic Knapsack Problem Via Variable Reordering, Richard Forrester, Lucas Waddell
Faculty Journal Articles
The 0-1 cubic knapsack problem (CKP), a generalization of the classical 0-1 quadratic knapsack problem, is an extremely challenging NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. An effective exact solution strategy for the CKP is to reformulate the nonlinear problem into an equivalent linear form that can then be solved using a standard mixed-integer programming solver. We consider a classical linearization method and propose a variant of a more recent technique for linearizing 0-1 cubic programs applied to the CKP. Using a variable reordering strategy, we show how to improve the strength of the linear programming relaxation of our proposed reformulation, which ultimately …
